Windows should be located where functionally
Ft. McCoy,
appropriate and as an element of sustainable design for
Wisconsin
daylighting purposes. Consider the use of operable windows,
with screens, for administrative and similar areas, for sustainable
design reasons and to provide ventilation flexibility. Provide
blinds or exterior shading to minimize glare.
3-5.5.2
Daylighting strategies should be considered for the
unit or administrative common areas, corridors, assembly hall,
lobby, workbays and unit storage area. Due to security concerns,
unit storage daylighting may require clerestory glazing or glazed
block.
3-5.5.3 Coordinate with the USAR Installation to develop appropriate door hardware
and keying. There are security restrictions prohibiting master key systems; the designer
should review keying requirements with USAR Installation security personnel. Weapons
areas, storage areas, and secure spaces, at a minimum, will not be part of any master
key system.
3-5.5.4 Doors in office and similar administrative or educational areas are typically
solid-core wood; doors in more utilitarian areas may be hollow metal. Doors to
administrative areas may have lights or sidelights for sustainable design purposes, and
to provide visibility for the Tenants and a view into the space from the corridors. Doors to
individual offices should not require closers or kickplates.

Caging and Shelving
3-5.6.1 Woven welded wire fabric cages are generally required in storage areas such
as unit storage, arms vault, tools storage, parts storage and unheated storage buildings
to provide individual units the ability to secure their equipment. The partitions will be
10-gauge steel wire panels woven into 1-1/2 in by 1/8 in (40 mm by 3 mm) channels.
Framing should be provided at structural steel, pipes, ducts and other obstructions
running through the partition to provide security and to prevent intrusion
3-5.6.2 The Tenants may wish to combine one or more typical cages into a larger
cage, or simply provide one or more large caged areas depending on their equipment
storage needs.
3-5.6.3 The typical size of a unit storage cage is \ 8 ft by 12 ft - 2 n (2400 mm by
3650 mm)./2/ Doors may be \ single swing, or bi-parting/2/, providing a minimum clear
opening in one of the narrow ends of the cage of \ 3 ft by 7 ft (900 mm by 2100 mm)
/2/. \ The minimum height of the cage is 9 ft (2700 mm) with a woven wire fabric
ceiling. If is is more economical or practical, extend the height of the cage to the roof
deck or floor slab above. If ceilings are provided, insure that shelving units will fit both
horizontally and vertically. /2/
